Coach Talk

Laces Out Dan!
We're curious if the GM of Laces Out Dan! was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 1 point, Robbie Gould (2-of-3 on the day) decided that going 3-for-3 on field goals just wouldn't have been exciting enough. Remember kids, every point matters!
BULLS09
Unless BULLS09 wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" is not a viable excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 55 targets in Week 1. With only 29 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
